- A review of the global markets for cast polymers and related forecast trends and sales taking place in the market.- Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2014, 2015, and projections of CAGRs through 2020.- Discussion covering important manufacturers, technologies, and factors influencing demand.- Breakdowns and analyses of the major regions Europe, Asia, North America, and others.- Detailed information covering applications for cast polymers including kitchens, countertops, lavatories, windows, and doors.- Evaluation of the industry's structure as well as its supply chain.- Types of cast polymers covered include cultured marble, cultured granite, cultured quartz, cultured onyx and other solid surface products.- Further breakdowns by polymer types: polyester, polyamide, PMMA, epoxy resin, and other resins.- Competitive analysis.- Profiles of major players in the industry.

Use this report to:- Learn about the history, current status and forecast scenario for three categories of polymers: solid surface, engineered composites and engineered stone.- Receive information about the technologies and raw material type (resins, fillers, pigments and additives).- Gain insight into the cast polymer manufacturing process.

Scope Of The Study:

- According to the International Cast Polymer Alliance (ICPA), cast polymers are man-made, chemically-bonded, mineral-filled, polymeric materials which are molded and hardened to a solid material in a variety of shapes that meet diverse design needs.- The ICPA divides cast polymers into three general categories based on the materials and manufacturing methods used: solid surface, engineered composites and engineered stone. This study covers the history, current status and forecast scenario for these three categories of polymers.- The report also analyzes the main applications of cast polymers, including countertops, sinks lavatories, vanities, shower receptors, bathtubs, enclosure sets, fireplace surrounds, window sills, wall panels, floor tiles, whirlpool baths and molding accents.- Regional markets, including China, Asia, Europe, North America and the rest of the world (ROW), have been researched and analyzed, as have the markets of major cast polymer consuming countries.- Technologies and raw material type (resins, fillers, pigments and additives) are also described in this report

FEATURED COMPANIES

Global demand for cast polymers has enjoyed strong growth over the past five years. The recovery of the residential and commercial construction markets in North America and Europe and fast-growing consumption in China and India contributed to most of this growth. Global supply chains have been formed and international competition has come into being, and there will be growing market opportunities for industry players with global strategies in place.

Highlights for the global cast polymer markets include:

- China’s consumption of quartz surface products will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8% from 2015 through 2020. Annual sales of 10 million square meters per year are expected.- China’s consumption of engineered stones will increase at a CAGR of 15.0% from 2015 through 2020.- China’s consumption of all cast polymer products will have a CAGR of 13.6% from 2015 through 2020. In 2020, this market will see an increased use of 94.1 million square meters of cast polymers per year, or an increased sale of $4.0 billion a year.- India’s consumption of all cast polymer products will increase at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2015 through 2020.- The world’s total consumption of cast polymer will have a CAGR of 9.5% from 2015 through 2020. In 2020, this market will have an increased use of 139.3 million square meters of cast polymers per year, or an increased sale of $7.0 billion a year.
